  • More GPS Problems - Damaged hardware?

    Hi Chris,

    I use passive satellite TV splitters with an inbuilt DC block (or steering diodes) on all but one port.

    This sort of thing with suitable adaptors.



    I use a two way to feed two more two ways, so… (more)

  • Advice on sharing RX antennas with 3 SDRs in the most effective way

    G8JNJG8JNJ
    Be careful regarding some of the commercial active splitters. Their IMD performance is not that good as they often use MMIC chips that can only achieve modest performance.

    For example the Elad unit… (more)

  • Wellgood balanced loop amplifier, (Wellbrook clone).

    Hi John,

    Build the LZ1AQ instead.

    It's a better performer and easier to construct, plus I'm not 100% convinced about George's reverse engineered circuit, especially the transformer windings and… (more)

  • Aricebo - 5125KHz

    G8JNJG8JNJ
    I just realised that I got the project reference incorrect, as I'd worked out the wrong time from the schedule.

    So the final session is now up and running until I estimate 18:00 UTC 14th June 2019

    I… (more)

    Aricebo was operating again last night, putting a very strong carrier (but with weak 120Hz sidebands) into the UK on 5125KHz.
